Same here, same ages, same time to conceive. I don't share that unless prompted and, gently, would suggest you do the same

I'm not sure if it's rare or not, it doesn't much matter either way. Same result however long it takes!

Beeny congrats. I think that for people who do all the right things, and yet still don't conceive, it is a bit galling when others comment on 'just using a bit of maths'.

I am pleased for you though.

not everyone has a regular cycle and not everyone ovulates the same time each month

i conceived my first first time at age 23 adn my second second time at age 29

it is quite unusual, but i often think it is luck more than anything else

I agree lulumama. I conceived my first in one day age 25, second in 4 months age 27, and BFP yesterday age 28 without having had a period after stopping BF. But not really my doing.

And it is awful when you know someone who is TTC & having issues. I have a friend (not massively close, but see in passing at least weekly) who has been TTC #1 for 2 years. We chatted about it last week, and now I am pregnant 4 weeks after finishing BF. Will be hard for her, I am sure

I got pregnant really easily with DDs father 6 years ago.

I am now struggling to get pregnant with no.2 and after 18 months TTC have suffered 2 heartbreaking miscarriages within 3 months.

I am truly happy for you.

I think you can imagine that after chasing something for a long time to have it snatched away is awful- to hear someone saying how easy it is to acheive sticks in your throat slightly.

I dont think you are a nasty person and I'm sure you meant no harm but I do think you should think twice before posting- there are a lot of people on here who have suffered whilst TTC and have suffered loss when finally getting there.

Good luck with your pregnancy

She's apolgised enough now - she didn't mean to come across as showing off and the title did give a hint as to what the thread may contain so...

mummy2olivia I agree with what you say, and hindsight is a wonderful thing, but in beeny's defense, that could be said about any situation we post about.

The threads about £100k not being rich, and quibbling over whether you should get one tax allowance or two, because you are only 7k better off, when some posters struggle to feed their children and go without themselves, must stick in the throat of those who struggle.

It's not that rare - don't believe the hype about your ovaries spontaneously imploding on your 35th birthday!

I agree, I just think that if you have to even consider calling your thread 'not showing off' then chances are you will upset someone.

I'm not asking OP to beg/apologise, just merely pointing out how post may be deemed insensitive to some people.
